1992 Ford Fiesta Olympus review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap, reliable runaround"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I've only had to replace the choke cable and get a new tyre.
General comments?
For a first car it's great.
Performance is pretty poor, but it's to be expected of an 11 year old car.
Handling can only really be described as numb.
Good economy although the engine sounds really harsh. This seems to be the case in most mk3 Fiestas.
I'm now looking to replace her soon, but I can't decide whether to get a Punto Sporting or Saxo Westcoast. All opinions on these cars would be greatly appreciated.
